This afternoon i went to turn on my ds and the super card cf did not boot and the ds just went to the menu. In the menu it says there is no gamepak inserted. I tryed again about 20x but it still wont boot. Then i tryed the supercard in my brothers ds and it showed the same thing. and i know it's not just our ds's because they can both play gba games normally.(just this morning i put a few videos on it than tested them afterwards and they worked fine and i have tryed with two different cf cards.

Thanks!

Clean the pins on both your DS and SC, all i can think that might save your SC :(

Thanks for the suggestion but it didn't work so i decided to take it apart! (i love taking things apart!) I took pictures to.




By the way this is not suppose to come off



I was trying to fix it with this method (after ripping it apart) http://forum.supercard.cn/view.asp?login=&mode=viewtopic&topicID=1924&forumID=6&catID=1&search=1&searchstring=detect&sessionID={DB9A29DD-5C3E-489C-9CB7-8A5F80D09081}
but when i put the cf card into the sc it broke the pins right off the circet board because i pushed it to hard
please ask any questions u want

Nice pics.  :)  This isn't going to help you now Jamie. Sorry.  :(  

For those who need to take their SCCF apart I have good advice. The best thing to do is take a carpenter knife (safe razor) and slowly cut the seem (top half - bottom half) on just one side of the supercard CF. Then you only need cut the seem a little bit on the opposite side to allow the case to open like a clam shell and the PCB can be removed. Then when you want to put your Supercard back together you can slip the PCB back into its case (no glue required) and immediately test it in your DS. So it's best not to completely separate the top and bottom halves of the case.
